    I left my house for a week and had my roommate feed my fish... and I come back to this!

    Any ideas what to do? What caused it?

    Note I have a 30gal 2 month old tank with 2 clowns and some inverts... run two 65W PC lights 10 hrs a day.

    Thanks!

    Most likely a bit of overfeeding. Go back to the feeding schedule you were on before and it should burn itself out.
